Oh yes — Ham and Cheese Sliders 🥪🧀 — soft, buttery rolls filled with savory ham and melty cheese, perfect for parties, game day, or a cozy dinner.

Here’s a classic, foolproof recipe:

Makes: 12 sliders

Ingredients

12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work best)
12 slices deli ham
12 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Prep the buns

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice buns in half horizontally, keeping them attached if using a baking dish.
Place bottom halves in a greased 9×13-inch pan.

2. Assemble sliders

Layer ham slices evenly over the bottom buns.
Place cheese slices on top of the ham.
Cover with top halves of buns.

3. Make topping

Mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.
Brush generously over the tops of the buns.

4. Bake

Cover loosely with foil and bake 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melty.

5. Serve

Slice between sliders and serve warm.
Optional: serve with pickles, mustard, or a simple side salad.

Cheese options: Gruyère, provolone, or American.
Add-ons: Sautéed onions, pickles, or a little horseradish for extra zing.
